"Your Majesty, the ministers have been in the border town for a long time, and they are a little straightforward in their words and actions, and they ask the emperor to forgive their sins." Huang Mengyu first confessed, and then continued: "However, the ministers have always valued two points in their work: the ancestral system and the sage principle. Since the ministers asked Feng Zhangyin to temporarily avoid it, it is natural that Feng Zhangyin needs to be avoided, and the emperor is also invited to know this. ”

Of course, the emperor knew it, and he wished that Feng Bao was unlucky! However, in front of the concubine, it was not good to be so direct, so I had to pretend to be very embarrassed: "Although the ancestors have their own laws, but after all, the eldest companion is my closest minister, don't you ......" Then he turned his head to look at Li Guifei, with a look of asking the concubine to be the master: "Mother, do you see?" ”

You've said that your ancestors have their own laws, and I'm still looking at a fart! Can I still say that the ancestral system is a ball?

Li Guifei was secretly annoyed that her son couldn't speak, and at the same time glanced at Feng Bao and Huang Mengyu with a calm face, of course she knew that the performance of these two people today was very problematic, but she didn't know what was involved.

But she didn't say anything directly, but turned her head to look at Queen Chen, and her tone was quite respectful, and said, "What does my sister think?" ”

Empress Chen looked very fair, and even had something to do with herself, and said gently: "It is said that Feng Bao has suffered a loss in this case, and he is considered a bitter master, so there should be no reason to avoid it, but Huang Mengyu is in charge of this case after all, since he said that Feng Bao should be avoided according to the ancestral system, we have to believe it, why don't we let Feng Bao avoid it first, sister, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Concubine Li felt bad in her heart, but after all, she didn't know what kind of involvement Feng Bao had to do with this matter, and she didn't realize the seriousness, so she was naturally unwilling to disagree with Empress Chen for this, and she was even more unwilling to inexplicably carry a huge black cauldron like "ignoring the laws of the ancestors".

So she also nodded: "My sister is right, and my little sister also sees it this way." Then he turned to Feng Bao and said, "Feng Bao, go down." The court is a place where rules are spoken, and if you are guilty, no one can cover you; If you are not guilty, no one can wronged you. ”

This is the same as Empress Chen's words just now, which seems to be fair, but in fact, it is obviously very biased. However, what they say is that they are also people who have been waiting by Longqing's side for many years, and other skills may be a little worse, but this kind of seemingly high-sounding and impartial, but in fact, clearly contains true intentions, it is still very smooth to say.

It's just that Feng Bao heard this now, but his legs trembled a little, his family knew his own family affairs, Chu Zhiyuan's house was killed by his order, and it was a trivial matter to be found that the body was discovered, but there was only one thing that could never happen: Xu Jue's killing of Chu Zhiyuan must not be exposed, otherwise it will be troublesome, and the matter of designing and framing Gao Pragmatic will definitely be exposed.

However, Feng Bao was a ruthless person who dared to go against Gao Gong, and after thinking about it, he felt that things were not in a desperate situation - even if Xu Jue Chu Zhiyuan's matter was exposed, as long as he didn't recruit himself, there was no room for turning around.

Now it seems impossible to stop Huang Mengyu from speaking, but he can still take advantage of the moment he avoids to quickly send someone to tell Xu Jue the news. I am good enough for Xu Jue, and even Xu Jue's family is living a very nourishing life now because of this reason, whether it is from the perspective of Zhi'en Tu Bao or from the perspective of family continuity, Xu Jue should hold on!

Yes, that's right, that's it! must tell Xu Jue that in case he is found out, he must insist that he just sees that the master is upset about Gao Pragmatism every day, so he arranges for Gao Pragmatism to design Gao Pragmatism on his own initiative!

The key lies in this self-assertion, since he is self-asserted, our family only has a charge of lax discipline at most, as long as he cries in front of the concubine and makes himself miserable, he will definitely be able to get through this hurdle!

Thinking of this, Feng Bao didn't delay any longer, and said very honorably: "Queen Xie, the concubine and the emperor are considerate, but since they are the laws of the ancestors, the old slave will follow them, and the old slave will retire." ”

As soon as Feng Bao left, Huang Mengyu was not polite, and said directly: "Queen, concubine, emperor, according to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Chu Zhiyuan went to a Fan's tavern in Nancheng before he died yesterday, and the tavern was not far from where his body was found, and when Jinyiwei's people inspected and saw Chu Zhiyuan last night, he was drinking by the moat with Xu Jue, the steward of Feng Zhangyin's foreign mansion. ”

Empress Chen showed a "sure enough" look, but immediately became expressionless again; Zhu Yijun's face was stunned, as if he couldn't imagine that this matter was really related to Feng Bao; And Li Guifei's face became even more gloomy, frowning, but she didn't speak.

Huang Mengyu added some more ingredients: "In addition, according to the inspection of Jinyi Wei, the time of Chu Zhiyuan's death is very consistent with the time when he drank with Xu Jue, and the error will not exceed half an hour at most." In this matter, Jinyiwei has a more detailed case record than Dongchang, and if the queen, concubine and emperor have any doubts, they can also ask Jinyiwei Zhu Dudu to explain in front of him. ”

Empress Chen and Zhu Yijun, like Huang Mengyu, set their sights on Concubine Li Guifei.

Li Guifei was secretly annoyed in her heart, not only annoyed that they were "persecuting" herself like this, but also annoyed that Feng Bao was not worried.

She now secretly believes that this incident is likely to be a bitter ploy directed and acted by Feng Bao, and the purpose is to blame Jiangdong and frame Gao Pragmatic.

But what Li Guifei was angry about was not this, but Feng Bao did this too unlevel, not only did not shake Gao Pragmatic at all, but wanted to put himself in!

Li Guifei actually didn't have any prejudices about Gao Pragmatic, and even felt that he did a pretty good job as a companion many times, but Feng Bao's words had a great impact on her that day, and she always felt that Gao Gong seemed to be really a little defensive about herself - there are many suspicious ghosts, and fake ones can become true.

With this preconceived notion, she even began to find rationality for Feng Bao's approach in her heart.

Li Guifei secretly thought: The root cause of Feng Bao's discord with Gao Gong was that Gao Gong refused to recommend him as a palm print, but now that he is a palm print, Gao Gong doesn't seem to object, so the relationship between them should ease somewhat, but why did Feng Bao do this?

If he really wants to target Gao Gong, then it is not enough to involve Gao Pragmatic in an assassination case against him. Gao Gong can completely say that he doesn't know, even if he takes the initiative to resign, in view of the Daxing Emperor's will, the palace must also take Gao Gong out of this case - he is the first assistant to take care of his life, and it is impossible to severely punish his nephew because he did something wrong.

It may even be necessary to appease the emperor in the tone of the emperor, saying something "Qing assists three generations, is conscientious, forgets to sleep and eat, and occasionally neglects discipline, is it the crime of Qing?" Please don't allow it, I hope to go out as soon as possible, don't live up to the emperor's examination and my expectations".

So why did Feng Bao do this?

Yes, Gao Gong dared to doubt the palace, and it was reasonable for Feng Bao to want to vent his evil anger for the palace, he only involved Gao Shishi, indicating that he was probably just thinking about warning Gao Gong.

It must be so.

But after all, he made a mistake in this matter, and he must be punished, at the very least, that Xu Jue must be handed over, otherwise he will not be able to explain.
